Historic election good for newspaper sales

Newspapers across the country are experiencing a run on single-copy sales today, with customers purchasing keepsakes to remember the election of Barack Obama.

So far, the Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Washington Post, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Detroit Free Press, San Francisco Chronicle and yes, (updated) the Baltimore Sun are planning to reprint today's edition.

As one Twitter user said: "you can't frame a Web page."

Read more about reprints of newspapers' election editions in Editor & Publisher magazine.

The extra copies of The Sun will be available tomorrow morning, along with copies of Thursday's paper.

Check out the front page from today's paper:
